Destiny's child

Destinys Child.Destinys child were an american R&B girl group formed in 1997 consisting of three female artists Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams. The group eventually signed to Columbia Records who have also signed many other artists such as; Adele, AC/DC, Alexis Jordan, Barbra Strisand, Beyonce, Bob Dylan, Billy Ryan, Celine Dion, Cults, Dixie chicks, Foster the people, The Glee cast, Katy B, Pink Floyd and loads more. Columbia Records is the only label the band have been signed to.

Columbia Records is owned by the japanese company Sony Music Entertainment which operates under Columbia Music Group with Aware Records. The american record label was established in 1888.'From 1961 to 1990, its recordings were released outside the U.S. and Canada on the CBS Records label (for Columbia Broadcasting System, its parent from 1938 to 1988) before adopting the Columbia name in most of the world.

Until 1989, Columbia Records had no connection to Columbia Pictures, which used various other names for record labels they owned, including Colpix and later Arista. Though Arista was later sold to BMG, it is now a sister label to Columbia Records through Sony Music; both are connected to Columbia Pictures through Sony Corporation of America, worldwide parent of both the music and motion picture arms of Sony.'

It wasnt always easy for the band though, the origionals (Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, LaTiva Robertson and LeToya Luckett) they spent years performing underground although throughout their career they ended up selling 40 million reocrds worldwide and in 2005 they were recognised as one of the best female groups of all time by the World Music Awards.

The song Lyrics - Emotion by Destiny's Child.It's over and donebut the heartache lives on insideAnd who's the one you're clinging toinstead of me tonight?

And where are you now, now that I need you?Tears on my pillow wherever you goI'll cry me a river that leads to your oceanYou never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heartit's just emotion taking me overCaught up in sorrowlost in the songbut if you don't come backCome home to me, darlingdon't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tightnobody left in this world to kiss goodnightGoodnight, goodnight

I'm there at your side,I'm part of all the things you areBut you've got a part of someone elseYou've got to find your shining star

And where are you now, now that I need you?Tears on my pillow wherever you goI'll cry me a river that leads to your oceanYou never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heartit's just emotion taking me overCaught up in sorrowlost in the songbut if you don't come backCome home to me, darlingdon't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tightnobody left in this world to kiss goodnightGoodnight, goodnight

And where are you now, now that I need you?Tears on my pillow wherever you goI'll cry me a river that leads to your oceanYou never see me fall apart

In the words of a broken heartit's just emotion taking me overCaught up in sorrowlost in the songbut if you don't come backCome home to me, darlingdon't you know there's nobody left in this world tohold me tightnobody left in this world to kiss goodnightGoodnight, goodnight

The song was released in 2001 produced by Mark J Fiest.The song was not an origional release by the band, it is a slower version of Samantha Sang origional aswell as after In 2002 a re-recorded mid-tempo version of Emotion, titled "The Neptunes Remix" was released on the album This Is The Remix. Destinys childs re-make appeared on their album Survivor and debuted at number 65 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

The music video featured a triple split-screen effect. Kelly on the left, Beyonce in the center, and Michelle on the right. Kelly is seen saying goodbye to her boyfriend before he leaves in a taxi. Beyonce catches her boyfriend with another woman and runs around the house in tears and Michelle is with her grandmother, who has died in her bed surrounded by petals. At the end of the video Williams calls the other band members to her home. The three girls meet there and comfort each other and have a group hug and then screen returns to normal.
